Just a reminder: 5-7-5 does not a haiku make.
There are to be two separate impressions, one usually of one line and the other of two juxtaposed upon one another in a single piece. The lines are usually to be of 5, 7, and 5 syllables OR LESS. The subject matter is normally of natural phenomena or seasons. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
